Need your help (just your vote) for my post-graduate excersise!

Part of a post-graduate excersise I have to do for my university is to collect data for user habbits in the internet. I started by placing a poll with the simpliest question: "Which browser do you use". If you would like to help me with your vote and take part in the poll (more votes, more valuable data for analysis for me) visit my blog post. Thanks in advance to everybody ;-)

Sure, easy enough, my vote is in.

anti on Oct 15, 2007

Done. :)

seanhussey on Oct 15, 2007

Voted. :)

debbye on Oct 15, 2007

me, too!

Psy2k on Oct 15, 2007

Many thanks :) You are all amazing! As I see (and I am happy about it) none here in IB uses Internet Explorer :0)

i voted too, and although there are now IE users, i would like you to know that it wasn't me... (IE is the devil).

Simple enough ... done!

Proudly voted for Firefox.

Psy2k on Oct 15, 2007

@redpoint: Firefox is my fave too (alongside with Opera).
@zelda: Trying to code and hack web designs to work on IE (as they should) is the most annoying thing for a designer!

aemcg on Oct 15, 2007

My votes in.

rossanyl on Oct 15, 2007

I voted for Internet Explorer... (I never bother to install an other browser, sorry to deceove everybody here!)

Psy2k on Oct 15, 2007

@rossanyl: I believe that you should definitely give a try to another browser...

rossanyl on Oct 15, 2007

@Psy2k: I hope then that you will post here the result of your poll. That may influence my choice !

zelda013 on Oct 15, 2007

@ psy2k : oh, don't get me started on coding for IE (seriously, don't.).

@ rossanyl : you really should switch to firefox. it's safer, more web-standards compliant, more stable, and better in every way than IE. if for some reason you don't like firefox, then you should switch to opera. or flock. or any browser at all that's not IE.

@psy2k: You should post this somewhere else also. There are a higher than average number of Mac Users here which will distort your figures since many use Safari. Also, there is not an option to vote for more than one and many users use more than 1 Browser on a regular basis.

bjendrick on Oct 15, 2007

Voted!

Psy2k on Oct 15, 2007

@dyar you are right. Windows users and co-students will participate too. The other point is that users in IB are users related with computers and Internet so they know about alternative browsers. Many every-day internet users know and use only Internet Explorer and thats a point too.
@rossanyl: On November 29, 2007 I will post the results here!
Thanks again everyone :)

Nell on Oct 15, 2007

Voted! Only 2 Camino users? :(

maryct on Oct 15, 2007

Voted!

jake on Oct 15, 2007

*sigh* I wish that many people did use firefox and so few IE.. instead of that measly 13%.
Still, it'll be interesting to see the amount of people using the alternative up and coming browsers.. look forward to the results.

KAHRules on Oct 15, 2007

I voted! Do I get a sticker to put on my shirt stating that I voted?

dustybunny on Oct 15, 2007

done

Denise on Oct 15, 2007

done!

Marina on Oct 15, 2007

Yup! Voted.

dyar on Oct 15, 2007

@Psy2k: Is it really necessary to drop 6 cookies for this simple poll?

ehooton on Oct 15, 2007

I voted, too!

soprano on Oct 15, 2007

Voted…

Psy2k on Oct 15, 2007

@dyar: Its democracy AJAX plugin for wordpress which provides poll options, so I didn't choose to fill your temp folder with cookies :) I have just clicked the option for a cookie placement to prevent double voting!
